STARS PAY TRIBUTE TO TRAYVON MARTIN AT LONDON'S YAHOO WIRELESS

On Sunday it was announced that justice for Trayvon Martin was not given, leaving his killer walking away as a free man.

A flood of tributes cried from people across the world as well as the celebrities and musicians performing at London's hottest festival.
